Why is my cockatiel sleeping at the bottom of his cage and inactive?

Question

I recently got a cockatiel and i have had him for just over a week and he was doing fine and he seemed comfortable but last night he went to the bottom of his cage and slept there and it’s now 1pm and he still isn’t active, he is alive though, do you know what is wrong with him? please help.

Thanks for reaching out about Pablo. Sleeping on the bottom of the cage is a general sign of weakness or illness. Remove perches and provide a soft towel on which to lie. Provide heat support in the 80-85 F range for aid. A veterinary visit to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan is recommended. Offer food and water via a syringe for some nutrition and fluid. Good luck.
